Submit your talk for #UnlockedConf Seattle
Unlocked Conf is a one-day conference for engineers building high-performance, real-world systems with Valkey and modern low-latency infrastructure. We're looking for practical, technical talks grounded in production experience. The best submissions dig into real tradeoffs, failure modes, and lessons learned from scaling systems under load.
If you're working on making systems faster, more predictable, and more resilient in production, we want to hear what actually worked, what didn't, and why.
Valkey usage or integration is encouraged, but not required.
Talk formats
